CapeNature and SANCCOB have collaborated to provide locals with an opportunity to protect the African penguin at Penguin Palooza. Attendees stand a chance to win a penguin box tipping experience and release an African Penguin back into the wild, Cape {town} Etc reports.
Attendees stand a chance to win a penguin box tipping experience and release an African Penguin back into the wild,With less than 8 750 breeding pairs left along the South African coastline, the African penguin faces a critical decline of 8% annually. If this downward trend continues, the species is projected to become extinct in the wild by 2035.
Commenting on the pressing issue, Dr Ashley Naidoo, the CEO of CapeNature, stated ‘if we do not collectively work together to ensure the survival of these seabirds, we may soon face a future where these penguins will no longer be found in their natural habitats.’ Stony Point, the nature reserve wherein this year’s Penguin Palooza will be held, hosts one of the few remaining key colonies where these efforts are focused.
The event is set to take place in the scenic Stony Point Nature Reserve and is dedicated to raising awareness about endangered African Penguins.
